Kinkatou is a “full colour” illustration book released by Tohru Adumi during Comiket 77. I put “full colour” in quotes, not as some kind of derisive gesture, because this book actually has enough colour material in it to justify itself, but because technically, not the entire book is full colour, since there is a section at the end (which I consider a “bonus” section) which is printed in monochrome on a different paper type to the coloured part. It has been some time since I looked at Tohru Adumi’s work, and I will honestly say I was pretty surprised when I opened this book and found so much of it consisted of illustrations of guys. That said, Tohru Adumi has always been into the bishounen side of things anyway, and I suppose we should be grateful she does bishoujo at all.
